Love those rims!

Wow - thanks for the honor and those that voted for my car. I have to say Jigsaw put some serious work into that GTP. It is a gorgeous car and I can see why it was a close vote (did I just brag on my car?). Thanks again!

DDM's offering a killer wilwood set up. As soon as he releases that and the price, I'm going to go that route.

Thanks for whoever nominated mine - but geez that GTP is hot!

Added a few new things to Banshee: DDM Slotted/Cross drilled rotors DDM Stainless brake lines Porterfield R4S Brake Pads ASAP Graphics Fog and Sidemarker Light Covers

Thanks for those pics. Awesome job!! Anyway you can list what you used for the job?

A pic of the car with the ASAP Graphics backup light covers installed - nice fat stance.

He's already done it on another Kappa Performance member's car - Elf. That was the prototype he is using for the kit. Still, doesn't hurt to ask though, right? Of course Elf's car is the model I'm looking to follow now since IBDRINKEN has his car up for sale (also another member). I just bought the AEM kit form Amazon - so now to schedule the install and tune. Dave does the tune as well (HP Tuners).

I agree that the coupe was a great direction to go in and add power. Like anything done in the automotive world, it takes time to get the right combos done. Lutz said GM needed to stop being afraid of putting fat tires and power in the cars they build. Looks like they are doing that with the corvette and z24 cars. Bout time.

Dr. Dave is supposed to release a ZFR kit this month (May). I will wait to see what he has to offer before going to PAW. I like the PAW kit, but Dave is local to me and if he has something comparable, then local it is. But right now it is meth/tune and then turbo. Trying to do this in stages.

I know this is an old thread, but... I wished they would have aimed higher - and maybe that was the ultimate plan with Bob Lutz. Nothing like an American car competing with the likes of BMW and Mercedes - which the Cadillac does so well. Heck, I think it surpasses them in many ways. The Kappa platform could easily compete with the Z4 and SLK class of cars if they wanted in both standard and M4/AMG formats. That engine bay was designed just right - a supercharged or twin turbo six would fit nicely. Anything more and the insurance companies would kill that platform - like they did with the Fiero. They were looking to up the coupe to 315 HP in the next iteration of the car. I know there was a little infighting between the Kappa crowd and Corvette geeks. Don't look for it to come back.

Ordered the DDMWorks Stage 1 Brake kit and Tune. Hope to get that by end of the week. I went with cross drilled/slotted rotors instead of the j-hook versions. I think I will regret that later. Waiting on Aftershock to send my rear spoiler - its being painted now. I will snag the AEM Stage 2 Meth kit mid May and have that installed by Dr. Dave from DDMWorks along with a dyno tune by end of May. I have a business trip to China coming up - not convenient when you want to mod your car. But then it helped me slow down on spending my money - for a little while at least!

I saw Alex and 2007 Sky and wondered if you were over there or not. I live on the Solstice and Kappa Performance forums - it's like crack cocaine. I saw this forum and really like it here - awesome focus on the Pontiac brand. Good to have friends everywhere too. I see so many kappas in Charlotte, but no group. So I'll go at it from the Pontiac perspective.
